We know that when you arrive in Wellington by cruise ship you can usually only pick one main activity for the day you’re here, so we pride ourselves on providing a well organised, professional service with high quality electric bikes so you can get the most from your time in Wellington.
Our guides will take the time to adjust the bike to your height and riding style and provide full instruction and safety briefing setting off. We provide helmets and have hi-vis available. We’re a young(ish!) group of guides who are all trained in group riding.
Electric Bays Tour 3-4 Hours
This tour is about getting out and riding and we do love showing off our city and telling you some tales along the way! The ride is a mix of shared path, on-road cycleways and regular road riding. You don’t have to be an expert rider, but should be comfortable riding a bike. Don’t worry about the ‘electric’ part, it’s easy! If you can ride a bike, you can ride an eBike!
25km
Intro to Wellington (2-2.5 hrs)
The essential introduction to Wellington! Jump on a bike and our guide will show you around the Wellington Waterfront and introduce you to some fascinating past and present figures who have made Wellington the creative capital it is today. This tour is perfect for those with just a couple of hours to spare or who prefer their riding to be only on cycle paths.
